Muscles and Physio

Muscles are attached to bones by tendons and help them to move. When a muscle contracts (bunches up), it gets shorter and so pulls on the bone it is attached to. When a muscle relaxes, it goes back to its normal size. Muscles can only pull and cannot push. Therefore muscles have to work in pairs to move a joint. One muscle will contract and pull a joint one way and another muscle will contract and pull it the other.

Muscle weakness is commonly due to lack of exercise, ageing, muscle injury or pregnancy. It can also occur with long-term conditions such as diabetes or heart disease. There are many other possible causes, which include stroke, multiple sclerosis, depression, fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome (ME)

At Corner Pharmacy our staff are trained to advise you of the choices and the supplements to take when your muscle strength starts to deteriorate.

Vitamins and Supplements

Every Health Professional has an opinion. Some will say that Vitamins and Supplements are a waste of money while others will say that they can't function without their daily doses of vitamins and supplements. It's only when you stop taking a particular supplement and the subsequent feeling of unwell that you realize that you need these supplements to have you functioning at 100%.  In any case, you have to listen to your body and if after stopping a supplement you feel inadequate then, by all means, take what is necessary. We must remember that before modern medicine human beings ate a host of herbs and healthy food to maintain well being. Science has allowed us to make these supplements available at your fingertip.

Listen and read comments downgrading each other with scepticism. Its is always best to read up about vitamins and supplements before abandoning something that could be immensely beneficial to you. 

We  at Corner Pharmacy advice you to talk to us about Vitamins and Supplements as we are adequately trained in both modern medicine as well as Vitamins and Supplements and have a balanced opinion instead of a one-sided view
